Question about needle prick...HIV ???

Hi everyone

Today i was standing near a hospital which was rush and was crowded moving noisy....i immediatey had a prick sensation for 5 secs....and turned back to see a couple of ppl standing facing.Now iam afraid whether some one pricked me or not......

1) is it possible for HIV to go through the Body with just a prick(i.e just inserting the needle in my Back buttucks region)
2)can any one inject blood within 5 secs(i immediately turned back within 5 secs)
3)Also if injected i would feel pain in that area for atleast next 15 mins rite(i did not feel any pain after 5 secs)
4)if pricked without split the pain would be more rite?
5)If pricked without split there would some wound in skin rite(I did not find any blood or wound when checked after returning home)
